Compared to last week: No trends due to no sale report last week. Buyers were selective on most classes of cattle. Quality was average to good on slaughter cows, and plain to average on feeder cattle.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

Cull cows and bulls are graded, not weight-classed — grade is what moves the money here.

Replacement cattle Per head

By class, stage and age

Bred stock and pairs are reported per head, not per hundredweight — these prices are never mixed with the $/cwt figures above.
